Dongna Yuwan
Also the filming location of "The Journey of Flower"! A fairyland on earth, boating on the Black Water River feels like stepping into a fantasy world!
E Spring
The source of Detian Waterfall! At sunset, you can capture the "golden light shining through the cave."
Tongling Grand Canyon
China’s own Jurassic botanical garden 🌳 The waterfall at the end of the canyon and the primitive vegetation create a magical landscape.

📮 Whale watching tips
✔ To get to Chongzuo, you can fly ✈ to Nanning, then take high-speed rail or drive to Chongzuo! Chongzuo South Station has direct buses to Detian and Mingshi, and there are shuttle buses between Mingshi and Detian.
✔ Whale watching tip: When you see many seagulls gathering and circling over the sea, there is likely a whale feeding below.
✔ It’s windy when going out to sea by boat, so it’s recommended to wear windproof jackets and hats, apply physical sunscreen, and seasick kids can use seasickness patches in advance!
